Why it's worth checking out
Method Brewing is a brewery and local gathering spot in Islington, Newcastle, built around a constantly changing selection of beers on tap. The rotating range gives regulars something new to try, while offering enough variety for different tastes. The brewery also has beer available through its shop and merchandise for those who want to take a little of the Method experience home.
Food is a significant part of the offering, with rotating food trucks visiting the venue and serving options including burgers, pizzas, tacos and fried chicken. The schedule changes, so the brewery directs visitors to Instagram to see which truck is appearing next. When there is no food truck on site, a selection of bar snacks is available to keep things covered between drinks.
The venue describes itself as a cosy brewery that works for birthdays, work events and casual get-togethers, with table bookings available. That makes it a practical choice for groups looking for beer, food and a relaxed place to spend time together. With its changing taps, visiting food trucks and regular events, Method Brewing offers a different combination from one visit to the next.
